I am a Stay at Home Mom to a 7 yr old little boy in 1st grade. I absolutely adore reading. Borders Bookstore is my Oasis. Nothing beats perusing the shelves with a delicious cup of coffee! When I'm not reading I love spending time with my husband of almost 8 years and our son! I also love working out, cooking, and blogging. Check out my blog!!... more »

  • The Hunger Games
    • Rated 5 stars

    I loved it! One of my favorite books of all time by far. Outstanding writing, charming characters, fast-paced, thrilling plot and very interesting with a little romance as well. Will leave you wanting more! Can't wait for the next one =)

  • The Friday Night Knitting Club
    • Rated 5 stars

    Parts of this book stalled at times, but I absolutely LOVED the story, the characters and how they evolved. This book definitely makes you want to knit even if you aren't a knitter. I truly enjoyed reading about all the lovely yarns, textures, patterns and projects that peppered the tender story at the heart of this book. Definitely one of my favorites!

  • Perfect Match
    • Rated 5 stars

    This definitely goes on my list of favorite Picoult novels! I wasn't sure, due to the nature of the book, if I would be able to read it. But I'm glad I did. It was descriptive enough to be unsettling, but not so graphic that it would give you nightmares. A lot of the focus was one other aspects of the story and more on just the aftermath of Nathanial's tragedy rather than the details of the horrid act.

    I was pretty happy with the ending as well. This book definitely gives you a lot to think about. Excellent!

    I absolutely adore SM and this series. However, when I picked up this book and started reading, for the first time ever I was a bit skeptical. I enjoyed the first few chapters of the book, but as it delved further into part 1 I began to feel as though I was going to turn the page to discover that this was all one of Bella's dreams, I actually found myself hoping it would be. I hate to say that because I truly fell in love with this whole series, all the characters and the story. That being said, once I got into Part 2 and came to grips with what was going on I found myself a lot more comfortable with the idea. As the story progressed SM's reasoning for choosing this particular path for this book became very clear. I loved how a lot of the character's started to show more depth. I did feel a bit disappointed in the end and did feel there wasn't much of a climax, but I feel pretty satisfied and should SM ever decide to expand the series later down the line, I think she left it pretty open to do so. =)

  • Petite Anglaise
    • Rated 4 stars

    I happened to come across this book by mistake as it was shoved in the area of an author whose books I was looking at. I liked the cover so I read the jacket and it sounded good! I ended up really liking this book a lot. I loved the descriptions of Paris and often felt as though I was there myself. Excellent summer read!

  • Love the One You're With
    • Rated 5 stars

    Even though this book was kind of predictable, I really loved it. Even though I knew I shouldn't feel the way I did, I fell in love with Leo myself, and I could actually feel Ellen's angst. I devoured this book within a couple days and probably would have finished it in 1 day if I would have had more time to read it. Excellent, breezy summer read!

  • Celebrity Scarves 2: Hollywood Knits for Breast Cancer Research
    • Rated 5 stars

    I loved this just as much if not more than the first book because all the scarves are PINK! There are some great patterns in here and the pictures of all the celebrities with the scarves they made are lovely. It is so refreshing a sexy to see a man with a scarf he made himself (Ethan Embry). Love it!

  • Celebrity Scarves
    • Rated 4 stars

    I am obsessed with scarves and they are not only one of the easiest things to knit, but one of the few things I am good at knitting as well! The yarns used in this book are a bit on the expensive side but could be easily substituted with a novelty yarn. A lot of the patterns are beautiful and even if your not a knitter, this makes a great coffee table book!

    This book was dark, gritty, sometimes disturbing but fantastic! Even though some parts were almost hard to read I really liked it. The story was odd but very well written with an excellent plot twist. Very good!

    Definitely a great sequel! Not as good as the first, but it definitely held my attention and it was wonderful to be back in the world of Forks!
